The Implementation and Effectiveness of Progressive Rehabilitation Nursing on Quality of Life, Self-Care Ability, and Psychological Status in Patients with Breast Cancer after Modified Radical Mastectomy.

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of progressive rehabilitation nursing in patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer.

METHODS

A total of 70 patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer in our hospital were selected as the research subjects, and they were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 35 patients in each group. The control group received routine rehabilitation nursing intervention after surgery, while the observation group received progressive rehabilitation nursing intervention based on the control group's nursing. The quality of life, self-care ability, mental state, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS

Before the intervention, the two groups had no significant difference in the quality of life (P > .05). After the intervention, the quality of life in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P < .05). Before the intervention, the two groups had no significant difference in the self-care ability (P > .05). After the intervention, the self-care ability in the observation group was significantly better than that in the control group (P < .05). Before the intervention, the two groups had no significant difference in the SAS and SDS scores (P > .05). After the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < .05). The incidence of complications in the control group was 22.86%, while that in the observation group was 5.71%. The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than in the control group (P < .05).

CONCLUSION

Compared with routine nursing intervention, the implementation of progressive rehabilitation nursing intervention can further improve the quality of life, self-care ability, and mental state of patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer and reduce the risk of related complications, which helps promote the recovery process of patients and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
